“The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned” (Mat 4:16)

It is a fact almost everywhere in any part of the world mobsters prefer moving at night to carry through with their mission. The midnight hour is their best time. There are most comfortable to attack homes not during broad day light when it is so easy to spot who and trace the suspect. Darkness is their shield.

Jesus told his followers, “You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden” (Mat 5:14, NLT). Where we see a lot of darkness in our workplace or nation it is a sign darkness has taken over. The people of the world who engage in evil practices prefer darkness for cover. Where they have become comfortable with children of the light, it might be because believers have lost their light and darkness is now comfortable with them!

Light lifts up most of everyone except that one with a dark mission. Light makes everyone secure by pointing to a clear way. Let the children of God carry that pleasant light in them without fear wherever they may be.

Prayer today: Lord Father God of Abraham, maker of heaven and earth, today I pray that the children of light carry that light that penetrates darkness wherever they go, in Jesus’ name.
